So I’m starting to pack my things for Vegas and let me tell you, I am SO EFFING EXCITED!! Some complications arose and I was unable to get there on Sunday along with the other girls. I cannot wait to see Elysa, Laura, Jess, Brandi and K’lyssa. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! *goes crazy*
Let’s hope that I can get there on Tuesday and spend more time with the girls. Okay, so I really need to start packing…..Hehe. Ok, I’ll be back with more info when I get confirmation about my secure departure time. To think, I only have to drive for 4 hours (living in So-Cal is the *BEST*) and boom! Vegas, here I am!
See you ’round kiddies! *waves*
Edit: Turns out I can’t get out of work early. So that means I have to go to work tomorrow and THEN leave for Vegas. *angst* Mark my words though: The second I step foot in Vegas, the girls won’t be allowed to sleep tomorrow night. I’m going to keep them all night long. ;) AHHH! I CANNOT WAIT!
Sorry for the darkness on this video, we’ll do our best to make sure things are brighter on the next one. If you turn up the brightness on your monitor for a bit, it’s fine. :)
Edit: We’ve got two pics up on our photobucket account. The on the left is the fabled tobacco field and on the right is Brandi’s view of the accident. (It’s pretty distant!) As always, check our photo album for larger images. (See link down left navigation bar.)
Hi folks, Jess here! Brandi is currently on her way to my house. She is about thirty minutes into her trip and currently parked on VA-31. Why? A dump truck overturned into a ditch. I am on the phone with her as I type, and she has been chanting, “Dump truck!” and is seeing if she can get some photos. Apparently she is near a field of tobacco and has been there for a while.
I got on MapQuest and Google Maps, and I think Brandi is located where I placed a red circle on the map below. This is barely 1/12th of the way to Pennsylvania. I’m going to attempt to see if I can help Brandi turn around and byass the accident. Keep checking in!
For a larger version of this map, please see our photo album! :)
So, I’m about to depart from my house in VA up to Jess’ house in PA for our flight out from MD.
Awesome.
Little bit nervous. It’ll be my first long trip by myself…all on my lonesome….in MY car. I wanted my parents car, but they said no. Grr. So, luckily, if I get lost or break down, I have my parents down here, my brother near DC, and Jess and her parents after DC…so, I’ll be good.
Anyway, it’ll also be my first trip on a plane. Never been on a plane before.
Alrighty…few more things to get together, then I’m out. Also doesn’t help that my parents keep barging in my room saying, “WHEN YOU LEAVING?!?!” @.@
So…that was kinda dull. I’ll try and get pix and videos up on here with my camera.
<3,
Brandi!!
Hey Hey.
Had to test this out. Hehe. Leaving for the airport on Sunday morning. See you soon! Much love! <3
Laura
When we saw that Andrew and Ben were making a joint blog to chronicle their experiences getting to and at Lumos in Las Vegas and JKR’s reading in New York City, the five of us (Elysa, Rachel, Laura, Brandi, and I) knew we had to make our own blog. And when Kay (MuggleNet Fan Fiction Alumni) found out she was able to come too, she agreed! All of us are staying together in the same resort for Lumos and three of us hope to continue on to the reading.
The objective of this blog is to track our progress with photos, videos, and, of course, journal entries. We want something we can look back on to remember the best summer ever and also something we can collectively show people who didn’t get to join in the fun.
There will be lots of first times on this trip! Brandi hasn’t flown before, only Laura has been to Las Vegas, none of us have been to such a big Harry Potter gathering… I could keep on listing, but I wouldn’t want to give everything away.
This trip starts on Saturday, July 22nd near Williamsburg, VA where Brandi will begin her trek to stay with Jess pre-flight by driving a car to Gettysburg, PA that might not be able to make the whole drive. Stay tuned for frequent updates and ensuing hilarity! We hope you’re half as excited as we are!
